Valencia is a 1964 by Count of St. Germain, depicting Belt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black swimsuit with a green belt and a matching green bow at her waist. Her hair is pulled back into a bun, and she stands with one arm stretched out. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil lines and a few watercolor washes for shading. The name *Valencia* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it refers to—maybe the woman’s name or the place. The artist signed it with a small mark at the bottom. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next—it’s a way artists use parallel lines to build up shadows.
